The Hotel 't Silveren Seepaerd fire took place in the night of 28 September 1971 in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
A fire broke out during the night, causing a flashover on the ground floor, and swiftly expanded over all four storeys of the hotel.
The fire department arrived a few minutes later to see several guests who lay in the streets after jumping from the hotel windows, and many others visibly trapped on the upper floors.
They had played a match on 15 September against PSV Eindhoven in the first round of the 1971–72 UEFA Cup in Halle.
One of the Chemie Halle players, 21-year-old midfielder Wolfgang Hoffmann, died in the fire, while several others were injured.
